[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I’m from the school of Hard Knocks. There’s a reason that Jews and Asians punch way above their weight academically. They’re not smarter. They work harder and are more disciplined (I’m Jewish). I’m reading way too many excuses and rationalizations in the comments above. I don’t doubt that some kids face real challenges and I don’t mean to demean them. However, I hold multiple Ivy degrees. I met a few really smart people in school. But, by and large, my classmates were like everyone else but put in more effort to achieve. I’ve found the same thing in my career. [/quote] What is your opinion on why Asian students are disproportionately excelling in math and science? [quote] hard work. They may not be quite as dominant in some other fields because some may be from households where English isn’t the first language. That said, many are doing well across the board based on their over representation at top schools. [/quote]
